lockys96 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 why did you blend the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Ouch!! The car looked amazing though. But yeah, surely blending the front catalysed the damage done to the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 If you never blended it then I guess you would have got away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Stillen ? one that acctually looks good... and yeah, never understood the whole blended front bumper, as said, you probably would have got away with it otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprab1 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Ah man i feel for you. I got mine caught on a speed bump before and there was no way of clearing it as there was a dip just before it, even seen a passat catching it. You have a nice car there though mate.

SUPRALOOPY Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Is that the grim reeper reflecting in the windscreen? Sorry to see that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 i know, it sucks, but i have learnt my lesson, whole front end needs spraying again, this time though am not going to blend the side wings in with the front bumper!

Guest Suprafly Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I thought speed bumps had to be a certain regulation height? Or is your car extremely low? Just I'd be checking, because if it was too high then you could claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnanshah247 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 yep you did exactly what i did, you moulded the wings to the bumper. when you sort it all out, grind the filler etc. off the wing and make sure nothing is attached to the bumper. check out what my car looked like lol:- http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=171030&highlight=speed+hump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
